Celebrating One Year of James Webb Telescope Image of Stephan's Quintet

🌌 Cosmic Dance Unveiled! 🌌

Meet Stephan's Quintet: a spectacular galactic group where four galaxies sway together, 290 million light-years away, while a fifth, NGC 7320, glides closer at just 40 million light-years. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, we now see this cosmic ballet in stunning clarity—a mosaic of 150 million pixels showing young stars, shock waves, and swirling gas trails!

But it’s not just eye candy. Webb’s insights into the supermassive black hole in NGC 7319 are rewriting what we know about galaxy evolution and black hole behavior. Discover the wonders hidden in Stephan’s Quintet! ✨ #JamesWebb #StephansQuintet
